Cibrèo Ristorante
Via del Verrocchio, 8r
ph. + 39 055 2341100

Cibrèo Ristorante is the iconic restaurant in Sant'Ambrogio that turned the idea of traditional cuisine into a cult favorite in 1979. It was given the name of an ancient dish from the Florentine table, an emblem of a way of catering that was almost revolutionary at the time. It was then that the idea of cooking as short chain as possible, always in step with the seasons, with elegant recipes inspired by tradition and the best raw materials was born. And it still does.
